Encapsulated Nanodroplet Crystallization of Organic-Soluble Small Molecules

Microfluidic Systems for Continuous Crystallization of Small Organic Molecules

This thesis presents one of the first demonstrations of continuous crystallization in microfluidic devices, and illustrates their use for various applications related to crystallization of small organic molecules. Crystallization is an important process in a number of industries, including specialty chemicals, food, cosmetics, nutraceuticals and, most importantly, pharmaceuticals. Most small mo...

Mechanochemical synthesis of small organic molecules

With the growing interest in renewable energy and global warming, it is important to minimize the usage of hazardous chemicals in both academic and industrial research, elimination of waste, and possibly recycle them to obtain better results in greener fashion. The studies under the area of mechanochemistry which cover the grinding chemistry to ball milling, sonication, etc. are certainly of in...

Organic soluble and uniform film forming oligoethylene glycol substituted BODIPY small molecules with improved hole mobility.

Judiciously chosen side chains of conjugated molecules have a positive impact on charge transport properties when used as the active material in organic electronic devices. Amongst the side chains, oligoethylene glycols (OEGs) have been relatively unexplored due to their hydrophilic nature. OEGs also affect the smooth film formation of conjugated molecules, which preclude device fabrication. Ho...

INTERACTION OF PROTEINS WITH SMALL MOLECULES

The source of HLA molecules on platelets: Does platelets adsorb soluble HLA molecules from their environment?

Background: The origin and function of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules on platelets are still highly arguable. Given the differences in the results of the previous studies in this regard, the lack of research in recent years, and the clinical importance of HLA class I molecules, the absorption capacity of platelets for soluble HLA class I molecules was studied in this investigat...
